Production and Plastics Technology

Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.)

Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften Ansbach Ansbach · Bavaria

About the Program

As a Sustainability Engineer in Production and Plastics Technology, you will be responsible for designing and optimizing production processes as well as automating production methods in times of increasingly digitalized manufacturing - keyword: Industry 4.0. The development of new, sustainable products and processes as well as the planning of new production sites and digital factories against the background of outstanding quality at low costs characterize your field of activity. You work with innovative materials for use in lightweight construction, e.g. for energy-saving vehicles or housing applications in communication electronics, or you develop hygienic packaging concepts in the food and pharmaceutical sectors. Polymer materials from fossil or renewable raw materials and their processing into products are becoming increasingly important in almost all areas of life. You develop digital models for optimal processing with modern machines, e.g. for injection molding. The environmentally friendly recycling of plastics is also playing an increasing role. During your studies, you will learn about the most important aspects of industrial production. The use of modern 3D printers in development and production is part of your design training. You will also learn how to use micro-controllers and modern manufacturing technologies (such as CNC machines and laser systems) and can use this for the design, control and regulation of industrial robots as well as for the automation of manufacturing and assembly systems. Organizational aspects are also part of your training, as successful production goes hand in hand with sound production planning, logistics, and consistent project management. The quality of manufactured products is also a focus of your studies within the framework of quality management.
